Leave it on the Table
Throw the dice,
walk away not looking at them.
The act is much more necessary,
than any outcome.
The pig I shot as a youth,
is still squealing,
we ate almost all of it,
until the grease sickened us.
After the bullet cracked
into its skull, we all looked,
when we should have walked away.
Toss a coin in a slow-time movie,
let it fall until you don't care
if it turns up heads or tails.
You may have to wait a long while,
but you can do other less risky things.
in the meantime.
